Taylor Academy 10e LTD Acoustic Dreadnaught w/ Koa Back & Sides inc Gig Bag

The Academy 10e LTD brings Hawaiian koa's exotic visual drama to Taylor's accessible Dreadnought platform, combining layered AA-grade figured koa back and sides with a torrefied spruce top that sounds decades older than it is. This limited-edition model features a carved armrest and slim neck profile that prioritise comfort without compromising the full-bodied projection strummers and flatpickers demand. Onboard ES-B electronics with integrated digital chromatic tuner make this a complete amplified solution straight out of the soft gig bag included with every guitar. The torrefied spruce top undergoes Taylor's proprietary roasting process to deliver warmth and played-in tonal complexity from the first strum, whilst the layered Hawaiian koa construction showcases organic figuring that ensures every instrument displays unique grain patterns. The slim neck pairs with a 1-11/16 nut width for reduced fretting effort across the smoked eucalyptus fretboard, supported by a hard rock maple neck that maintains structural stability. D'Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Light strings (.012-.053 gauge) come factory-installed, whilst the ES-B pickup and preamp system provides stage-ready amplified tone with minimal fuss.
